KUALA LUMPUR: The elderly woman, who was murdered by her son and stuffed in a freezer, was last seen by neighbours at Taman OUG here during the Movement Control Order.
A neighbour, who declined to be named, said he assumed that she had returned to her home.
"I was shocked when I saw police personnel in the neighbourhood and was told that a body was discovered.
"In the past that the woman would come to visit her son at this house," he said when met at the scene today.
He said the victim had her own house but would come to visit her son as he lived alone and was unmarried.
He added that the son rarely came out of the house and that the door was usually kept closed.
"I never suspected anything. He never acted weird or suspiciously," he said, adding that the suspect was friendly and always greeted him when they met.
He said the suspect had previously suffered a stroke and he believed his medical condition was why he hardly came out of the house.
"That house had almost been broken into in the past.
"Several neighbours managed to stop the attempt but the man refused to lodge a report as he never incurred any loss in that incident," he said.
